Brandi's Stuffed Mushrooms

Sue's birthday is coming up real soon,,, so last weekend we had a little get together for her at my son, Brandons' house. Our friend, Brandi, brought Stuffed Mushrooms, Crab Rolls and Deviled Eggs...
and even though me and Sue spent all day saturday cooking everything from BBQ Pork and Brisket to Macaroni and Potato Salad,,,,I have to admit....These 3 were the hit of the party. 
Brandi was nice enough to share these recipes with us, so we could share with you...Here is the recipe she had for Stuffed Mushrooms and her version of it.......A Big Thank you to Brandi for sharing... Hope you enjoy.

2. combine bread crumbs, cheddar, bacon, butter, parsely, garlic in a medium ball. mix well
3. spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps. plae them in the dish nad cook for 15-20 mins.

Brandi's Version

however i did mine a little different and use all the same ingredients
1c of bread crumbs
1c of cheese
1c bacon
2 sticks of butter (i melted it in the microwave, made it so easy to stir)
2 teaspoons of minced garlic in jar
3 teaspoons dried parsley

when i was preparing them, i pushed the mixture in the caps and topped it with a little extra

Brandi's Deviled Eggs

Who doesn't love bacon ???  Who doesn't love Deviled Eggs ???  If you are like me, and love both....this recipe is for you.... 

and once again....A big Thank you to Brandi for sharing this recipe.                                         

1 dz eggs
mayo
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard
cooked bacon
salt and pepper for season

1. place eggs in a pot of water. start water and begin to boil. once it started to boil. time for 12 mins. any longer will become overcooked, any less will be running and undercooked.
2. drain and place under cold water. but its easier to peel when they are warm.
3. cut eggs down the center. scoop yolk out using a spoon. place white part in a egg container.
4. mash yolk to finely. add mustard and vinegar. stir. taste. if it dont taste right add according to taste.
5. add bacon. stir. put in bowls of white parts (egg container)
6. top with a couple of pieces of bacon

determining on how much bacon depends how much of bacon u want to taste
